So many discussions by a single person !!!!!!

Hi krajibg, if you are talking about the endless posting of inane one liners which receive no comments back then we're really not discussing discussons at all, as it takes at least two people to make a discussion. Then there are the other type of posters who release ten discussions at once but five on the variation of the same topic, which allows for four to bomb and one to turn into a discussion. Someone has obviously saved them all up and posted them in a lump which is highly irritating. Now as I have posted four discussions today you must decide if I am one of those too, the simple fact is though that I rarely give any thought to what discussion I will post but do it spontaneously when the idea hits me, most often when I'm typing up a response and think I'm wasting a discussion here. I can handle four discussions at once easily and still respond to others so I don't see an issue in that as some discussions will appeal to different people, and one might be serious whilst another is frivoulous allowing one to flit between when fancying a change. Other days I will post nothing as the mood does not strike.

I barely post discussions because sometimes I don't know what to post.lol!So I ended up just answering other members' discussion or go to my posted discussions and answered responses. Well, people posted many discussions everyday to generate more earnings because as we go back to our discussions and started making reply to members, our earnings will increase.

I've known members that have done that...I think the most I've started is five in one day. Somedays I just have a lot on my mind and want to talk...other days I just don't feel like it. I think as long as the person is happy starting discussions then they should do what makes them happy...who knows how many ppl enjoy that persons discussions.

Hi raj, I don't understand how some people has so much of ideas to come up with. It takes me ages to think of what to post and the fact that I have to service my discussion after posting put a limit on how many I can possibly manage in a week. I don't really go for too many postings as I fear they will bore the readers. I think too many discussions from the same person makes them more like classroom questions and answers. The poster ends up thanking everyone for responding.

well dada, there are some people who post something in the name of discussion but after posting they don't even go back to see the responses. you don't dare to post many discussions because you always go back and respond to the people who have responded to you. any communication is complete and effective only when there is feedback. without a feedback a discussion is incomplete and hence, not a discussion in any sense.

Hello my friend I think I know exactly who you are referring too, my email use to be bombarded with notifications from this user it was ridiculous so I turned notifications off, I also advised the user to respond to past discussions if not you are defeating the purpose I believe they started a discussion about not getting enough pay, well if you respond then maybe you will see a difference, they responded with good advice yet nothing has changed Thanks my friend.

Hi dear! You got it right, I have also observed that yesterday there were many discussions by a single user. Though some of the discussions were interesting to respond, yet all cannot be termed as quality discussions. Moreover, I was wondering how she would do justice to all her discussions. It always takes time to post comments on the response received. I apprehend that she would not be able to post her comments to all the respondents. I also do not start multiple discussions and till I have time, I feel hesitant to start a new discussion. I wish to post my comments to the respondents and this way I can do justice to my discussions.

I don't think I really understand your last question. As long as each discussion is on a different subject or question, then there is nothing wrong with that. It's like saying if you have a talk with your mail man in the morning, then you can't chat with the neighbor right after because then they both wouldn't be discussions. Sorry if I am misunderstanding your question. You shouldn't be scared to post too many discussions. If you have something legit and worthwhile to talk about, then go for it - post all you want. Of course, I do get irritated when their discussions are like this: "Do you like hamburgers?" "Do you like cheeseburgers?" "Do you like chicken sandwiches?" "Do you like tuna sandwiches?" Those can really drive me nuts... Anyways, thanks for the discussion - have a great day!

It would be a discussion if the poster responds to all of the comments but I don't see how anyone could respond to so many. I've noticed that some people do this, too. Generally, I can see that these are topics that don't really matter to the person who posts them, they just want to get as many discussions started as they can for whatever reason. Maybe they think that posting more discussions earns them more money. Maybe someone should tell them that they don't earn by posting discussions, they earn by responding to the comments they get. I've noticed that, whenever I post a discussion, my post count doesn't go up, not until I respond to a comment. But, I've also never tried to post as many discussions as I can. I post whenever I have something to say. These people who do post so many discussions should be made aware of the fact that they'd probably get more comments if they only posted discussions that were of interest to them so they'd have something to actually discuss!

Why wouldn't it be? They do so to make money. I am not sure that that many would be plausible but half sounds good. Yes, I could do that.

I have seen someone do that too. A while ago I accepted a friend’s request and I had 36 discussions come through to my email all from that same person in the one evening. Out of the 36 I felt I wanted to contribute to only a couple because the rest of them didn’t appeal and were just one line questions. For me it is a struggle to come up with something once or twice a week and then I find that starting discussions is a commitment to a lot of work in order to reply to all the responses.

I'm with everyone else on this one. I don't start discussions I can't keep up with. I think it would be very hard to keep up with more than a couple of open discussions at once. I also think that the more you start at one time the less responses you may get to them.

There are so many topics under the sun to be discussed so why not 20 in half an hour? You find it difficult to post one in two days is nothing surprising because I find it difficult to post one in 20 days. So you see how weak we are compared to others in this game. So let us make our self fit and fine in this number game that is if we want to. Hope to see you again on some new topic.

Hi krajibg, frankly I dont know how they come up with so many things to discuss! I mean, I see the topics, then it strikes me that I do have some idea about it. But may be I have fixed notions, and therefore, I dont really think they are worth any debate. LOL. However, I did notice that at times my thinking was considerably different. Starting a discussion to me meant debating to a level where some conclusions could be drawn, or at least a new dimension could be added to my thinking - something that I'd never previously thought of. I do wish they would try to come up with something like that so that not only posting comments, but even reading discussions would be quite a good time pass.

It depends on the content of the post if it would be considered as a discussion or if many members would participate in the post, I mean, even a simple question can turn into a very interesting debate later on. The frequency of the discussion post can be alarming indeed but, I hope it isn't a copy-paste kind of discussion, especially if its from some other site posted by others who started the discussion.

Some people can type very fast and also have discussions coming at them a mile a minute (that is to say they think of things to discuss fast)... Now 20 in a half an hour I am sure is possible, but if it has less then two lines I wouldn't consider it a discussion. I'd just say that it's a thought and that's about it. A discussion has questions, adds curiosity, or at the very least can be responded to without saying "I don't understand" or "this is too short of a post" etc. Don't be afraid to post more discussions though, just remember content is key!

They do so because they think it will improve their earnings. They do not realize that they don't even need to start one new discussion per day.

Oh I can't stand it when someone starts too many discussions at once, and most of the time they are really boring topics. I usually only make about one or two discussions per week as I don't see the point of agonizing everyone with pointless discussions..

Some people think - mistakenly - that they earn from starting discussions. I can go a week or even more without posting a discussion, because I want to post quality discussions, that Mylot users will respond to and I can comment on. Someone who posts 20 or more discussions a day cannot possibly manage them effectively. I'd say go with your instincts. Most of us here are responders rather than discussion starters. When you have a great idea for a discussion, go for it - otherwise, concentrate on quality responses. Either way, you'll be making the most of your Mylot time and earning as a bonus.

Hi,kra,there is nothing wrong in posting discussions continuously subjected to if they are quality posts and under mylot rules.Suppose if a member write down discussions when ever he got ideas for a period of week or two.Then it is easy to post in half an hour on one fine morning.If we won't have quality discussions with us,we can't post for even week days also till we get quality discussions in our mind.All the best and have a nice time.
